About the role

The Daily Beast is looking for a dedicated general assignment reporting intern to join its New York newsroom full-time this fall. This internship is designed for undergraduate juniors, seniors, and graduate students eager to learn about newsroom operations while gaining hands-on experience in reporting. Interns will pitch and report stories, conduct research, and work collaboratively with reporters. Applicants should have prior writing experience and a keen interest in current affairs. This paid internship lasts from mid-September to mid-December and includes benefits like discretionary vacation and tuition reimbursement.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
